Shows and sport
Drama, shows and sport
Entertainment and sport channels: the ones with the strictest rules about where you watch.
Most channels buy their films, series and sport for one country only. That is why the picture stops at the border.
Why
Why does a channel stop working when you travel?
Most channels buy the rights to films, series and sport for one country only. Their apps check where you are, and outside that country they show a message instead of the picture. It is not a fault in your app or your internet connection.
Inside the EU and the wider EEA, a paid service you use at home has to keep working while you visit another member country for a short time. Free services may choose to do the same. Outside the EEA there is no such rule.
The official ways around it are a channel's own international version, its international app, and TV packages sold in other countries. Every channel page lists the ones that exist. Read the full guide to watching TV abroad.
